Frosted seed heads.

Frosted seed heads. This image differs from the previous one in that post-processing with PhotoShop artistic filters has been done. This photograph was taken in our front garden in the fall, just as winter frosts were approaching. These were Black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia) believe it or not. The seed heads have a light dusting of frost in the early morning. The image has been tweaked digitally to give it a painterly feeling.

Crocosmia 'Lucifer' at Waterperry Gardens, UK

Crocosmia 'Lucifer' at Waterperry Gardens, UK I was attracted to move in close to this flower bed as I was attracted by the lines and chaotic pattern, if you like, of these Crocosmia plants. I found the image benefited from some tweaking in PhotoShop to accentuate the edges and lines even more.

A Touch of Mauve

These delicate mauve flowers were growing in a large flower bed. It was an overcast day with grey cloudy skies. By shooting low and upwards I eliminated the clutter of the rest of the gardens and by overexposing the image I isolated the flowers and stems against a white background.
